Weight stigma is one of the last socially acceptable forms of discrimination, and it’s hurting people every day.

The good news? Together, we can change this.

We all have the power to push back. From rejecting BMI as a marker of health to using respectful language and modeling body acceptance, small steps can shift the culture toward equity and compassion.

When we challenge weight stigma, we’re not just helping individuals, we’re creating a safer, more respectful world for everyone.

The article “10 Tips to Challenge Weight Stigma and Weight Bias” outlines the steps you can take to reduce weight stigma.
